Powell Peralta Skeleton Flight Deck

Flight Deck construction uses advanced materials and a thinner profile, making the board significantly lighter and stronger than traditional 7-ply maple decks. This design resists snapping and maintains its shape and pop much longer under heavy use.

An 8.75-inch deck is on the wider side, which provides a stable platform for transition skating, bowls, and vert. While you can certainly use it for street skating, it will feel more substantial underfoot and may require more effort for flip tricks compared to a narrower board.

The Skeleton Blue Foil graphic is designed to be durable, but like any skateboard graphic, it will eventually show wear from slides and grinds. The foil finish adds a distinct look that stands out, though it will scuff with heavy contact.

Yes, the Flight Deck construction is engineered to be stiffer and more responsive. This rigidity helps transfer energy more efficiently when you pop, giving you a snappier feel that doesn't lose its 'life' as quickly as a standard deck.

While this is a high-performance deck, beginners can certainly use it. Its increased durability means it will survive the inevitable learning curve of drops and heavy landings better than a cheaper, standard maple-entry level board.
